If the vehicle is going to be kept unused for a long time, the battery should
be fully recharged first. After that, the battery should be fully recharged
every two weeks.
•
When driving, the driver should always be aware of the drop level of the
battery power from the battery power meter. Any drop means the battery
power is diminishing. The driver can estimate the distance needed to be
taken, and recharge the battery at a proper time in case the vehicle cannot
get back to the recharging station in time for recharging.
• WARNING:
Make sure the battery is recharged before the battery power
meter shows 20% power is left inside the battery. An over-discharged bat-
tery will have a very short service life and will make recharging difficult.
• WARNING:
During recharge, the vehicle should be parked in a well-venti-
lated area with the fill caps tightly secured. Keep far away from any flame
and sparks to avoid any explosion or fire that could cause physical injury
or damage to the property.
•
During recharge, if the vehicle had doors, keep the doors open. Lift the seat
bottom to keep the battery compartment open to the air.
Watering
Flooded batteries need water. More importantly, watering must be done at the
right time and in the right amount or else the battery's performance and longev-
ity suffers. Water should always be added after fully charging the battery. Prior to
charging, there should be enough water to cover the plates. If the battery has been
discharged partially or fully, the water level should also be above the plates. Keep-
ing the water at the correct level after a full charge will prevent having to worry
about the water level at a different state of charge.
It is recommended that batteries be checked once a month until you get a feel for
how often you must water your batteries. Important things to remember:
•
Do not let the plates get exposed to air. This will damage (corrode) the
plates.
•
Do not fill past the water level in the filling well to the cap. This most likely
will cause the battery to overflow acid, consequently losing capacity and
causing corrosion.
•
Do not use water with a high mineral content. Use distilled or de-ionized
water only.
WARNING:
The electrolyte is a solution of acid and water so skin contact should be
avoided.
